We all know about it, and we all see it. It's obvious. Nobody ever wants to admit it, but it's there.

People on this subthread hate Dobbler. The first question to ask: why? Why do you all hate him? The obvious answer: you didn't watch him in his prime.

Likely explanation: I know that most of you are around 14 or 15 years old. That means you only got into dot football in the last couple years. So you never watched Dob in his prime.

And because you didn't watch him in his prime, you try to compensate for that by diving into stat sheets and analyzing box scores. But here's the thing: Dot Football isn't played on Excel spreadsheets. The moment somebody brings up "catch percentage" or "actual receiving statistics" I know they know nothing about dot football. Don’s game cannot be encapsulated by one stat. He's the second greatest Dancer ever, and one of the 5 best players to ever play the game.

So when I hear somebody say that LeBron is better than Dob, I laugh, because I know that anybody who watched Dob in his prime wouldn't think that. Unlike you guys, I have watched basketball for a significant amount of time, so I know that Dob is better.

You might be jealous of Dob’s new contract, or jealous of his status as the greatest scorer in ISFL history, or whatever. Unless you're a Legion fan who watched Dot Football in the 90s, or a Honolulu fan who watched Dot Football in the 2020s, you don't know what real, cold-blooded, natural instinct, will-to-win dot football looks like. And there's nothing wrong with that. This sub would make you think that Dob isn't even a top 100 player ever.

So don't go spouting bullshit about players you didn't watch. Talk about your "greats" like LeBron, The Best Player in the World™, but leave the Dob talk to the adults. Fair?
